Civil War in AMC Dolby

Civil War in AMC Dolby

“Civil War” follows the journey of a group of Military embedded Journalists as they report and photograph a dystopian future America. This group of Journalists race against the odds to get to Washington DC before the Rebel Factions descend upon the White House. The story unfolds from there…

“Civil War” is not about what you think it is. Once you understand that it is essentially a Horror Movie without the “Boogie Man”. It’s more like a larger version of what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6th, but on a much larger scale involving more states across the US with a lot more casualties and a total collapse of Political Power.

The movie was executed very well, but the dialogue in the movie was extremely lacking. This was actually discussed amongst several patrons as we were walking out of the theater. The movie is “In Your Face” Bloody, Unsettling, Tough and Very Suspenseful. 

Stream it or Watch it on Cable. 

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!

Fences

Denzel Washington and Viola Davis both give masterful performances in the big screen adaptation of “Fences”.

The main characters in the movie are both complex and deep. Their performances make it look easy.

“Fences” is about a family of color in 1950’s Pittsburgh. The Patriarch is Troy (Denzel Washington) who works as a city garbage collector. His wife, Rose (Viola Davis) takes care of the house and their teenage son Cory (Jovan Adepo).
Troy is trying to pave a path to a better life for Cory, but Cory thinks his Dad is selling out to the “Establishment”. The story unfolds from there…

“Fences” is August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play that has been brought to the big screen. The movie shows its “stage” roots a bit, but that does not stop it from being excellent. Denzel not only stars but also directs. Viola and Denzel’s performances outshine and upstage any possible problems.

What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon that also happens to be Christmas Day!

This is a 5 Star Movie!
